Washington (CNN)White House lawyers have begun researching impeachment procedures in an effort to prepare for what officials still believe is a distant possibility that President Donald Trump could have to fend off attempts to remove him from office, two people briefed on the discussions tell CNN.

White House officials believe the President has the backing of Republican allies in Congress and that impeachment is not in the cards, according to the people briefed on the legal discussions. Even Democrats have tried to calm impeachment talk out of concern it is premature.

But lawyers in the White House counsel's office have consulted experts in impeachment during the past week and have begun collecting information on how such proceedings would work, a person briefed on the matter told CNN.

If Trump is impeached, you get Pence. If information comes out that Pence was implicated and is also impeached, you get Ryan. When the mid-terms come next year, the Democrats are almost certainly going to gain many seats. If you can put up with that buffoon for the next 3 and a half years, it will be clear sailing for the next presidential election.
